Julia Hughes, regional manager for Crimestoppers in Hampshire and the Isle of Wight, said: ‘Last time the digital advan came to Hampshire we received 28 pieces of information from the public on wanted individuals.

‘It works because people understand they can safely and anonymously speak up about criminals without having their identities revealed or having to go to court.’

More than 100 faces are listed on the ‘Most Wanted’ gallery for Hampshire and the Isle of Wight for crimes ranging from burglary, drugs and criminal damage to assault.

Michael Lane, Hampshire’s police and crime commissioner, said: ‘I’m delighted to support this initiative and heartened to see how the last appeal helped to raise awareness. This campaign allows the public to engage in the work of the police to bring criminals to justice.’
